Equipment will include, but not limited to, cameras, readers, emergency distress systems, media converters, digital recorders, and all related system parts. Siemens Industry, Inc. installed, programmed, configured and has maintained the current security system since the installation in 2007. They are the current holder of the Software Support Agreement for the Security Management Systems at the Water Treatment Plant.
